Cutdown to 53 Megathread

Boston Scott, Kick Returner

Tre'Quan Smith, Punt Returner

Alvin Kamara, Pinch Hitter

This way you can finally cut Tommylee Lewis who's only active four games a year and let him geaux somewhere where he can get more opportunity...

George Johnson cut looks like Loewen could be in that 53 number.

Tate is a vet. They may have an agreement to bring him back after week one.

Time to take a look around the league and see if anybody intriguing has been released yet...

Tate at least knew how to find the gap in the return game and run up the field rather than across it.

Given TLL’s size, he’s not very elusive. When he makes a big play I’m excited for him. But his splash plays are far and in between. When good players make good plays, it should be something that’s expected to happen, not a “ way to go boy” after any big play he makes.

Not surprised by any except Tate so far

Hope we can move stupar so he can catch on with someone

Jayrone Elliott was more a surprise than Kika to me. I thought he might have done enough to stick around.

Of the cut TEs, Gavin Escobar has most potential so far. 6'6" 255 w/4.84 speed. Coming off of Achilles at the end of 2015. 2nd Rd pick 47th overall in 2013. Could get him on the cheap.
